we're going to the vet in the morning and im going to have them do the bile acid test. I'm worried sick!

i have not followed previous post so it is hard to say anything other than :"good luck" . And take the food away , just water if she continues to vomit take the water away as well.

Is she STILL on the Metro? Because I'm wondering if it's beginning to be too much for her - I'd ask the vet to consider that as well bc Metro can be very hard on some pets. Please keep us posted and best of luck at the vet.

Hannah3183 · 07-29-2008, 06:51 PM

she finished the last of that this morning.

The vomit count is up to 12 for tonight. It seems to be just foamy white bile now.....all the food is out of her system.

I'm praying that this isn't some sort of shunt. I hoping that it's as simple as a new allergy to her food, since she was fine there for a few days. I'll let you know what the vet tells me tomorrow. I just hope we can make it ok through the night.

If the metro mentioned is metronidazole it would not cause vomit.... it would actually help stop any related to infestation of worms, or coccidia....

I am so sorry your puppy is sick. I hope your vet can figure out why she keeps vomiting. Please keep us updated.

Poor baby

I hope you find out what's causing her problems...

Hannah3183 · 07-30-2008, 08:44 AM

The vet visit went ok today. Since she is acting normal in every other way, the vet is wondering if all of a sudden her food isn't agreeing with her. So, she's on Hill's ID prescription food. If she still vomits tonight, the vet said she's going to start doing extensive tests to figure out what's wrong and to bring her in tomorrow morning for xrays, more bloodwork etc. The vet said that her bloodwork from the other day came back excellent and that she would have noticed if someone was going on with her liver. So - she ruled out doing the bile acid test until other symptoms showed up which led to that.

I gave Mayme some boiled chicken this morning and it all stayed down..

Crossing my fingers that it's as simple as a diet change!

Poor baby. Glad she is doing better for the time being.

That's not true. You may want to read more about Metro, which can VERY tough on some pets:

While this really doesn't sound like a liver issue (although it could be), there is no possible way to rule out a liver function problem with just a blood panel. It is a good place to start but the enzymes don't have to be up for there to be a problem.

This whole thing seems very odd.
If she had diarrhea also or was going normal I would think pancreatitis but having trouble pooping just doesn't seem consistent with that.

With an obstruction it would be hard to poop at all but I think I would want this ruled out anyway.

Hannah3183 · 07-30-2008, 01:14 PM

I know.. I honestly think the vet is a little confused on this one too.
I'm going to take away her treats and just feed her this diet and see if the vomiting stops. I guess its the first step before they start looking for a bigger problem.

They don't think there is an intestinal blockage, b/c she did finally start pooping again with no problems at all.
I normally feed her Wellness Puppy - I didn't imagine having an problems with it since it's supposively a really good food. MAYBE...my baby did just develop this sensitive tummy. ?? I'm anxious to see how she does tonight.

Wylie's Mom · 07-30-2008, 02:27 PM

Is there any toy where she is getting at the stuffing? Anything weird like that? How long after she eats does the vomiting start? Have you cut out all treats?
